First crush at Riveredge

When I was 10, which was 22 years ago, my family and I would go for a week or 2 to a resort called Riveredge which was in Moodus.

I have some cute memories and photos from there. I remember I had my first crush there, would join in all the games, like the sac races, the pie eating contests, etc. I also enjoyed the paddleboats and learning how to use a scaddadle (water skiis covered with canvas).

I remember going to the rec hall to play ping pong or watch a movie. I remember having corn roasts and hot dog roasts at night near the river and taking tours on the pontoon boats. I even think I remember one of the social directors there whose name was Arty.

Can you tell me if the resort still exists or is still open? I would love to take my children back there.

Thanks,
